You can trust Cycling Weekly. Our team of experts put in hard miles testing cycling tech and will always share honest, unbiased advice to help you choose. Find out more about how we test.
Now in its fourth edition, this colourful guide takes you right back to basics on home maintenance, carefully explaining the function and workings of various components, rather than just a step by step of how to fix them.
Like For Dummies it's a good one for the total newcomer who'd like to learn their way around the bike as well as the toolbox.
